Adaptive Reuse of Historic Schools
October 5, 2011 |
Join the Historic Preservation League of Oregon in Baker City for a presentation and conversation about best practices in historic school adaptive reuse. The now-vacant Baker City Middle School was listed in May as one of Oregon’s 2011 Most Endangered Places, representing the challenges and opportunities embodied in many of Oregon’s historic school buildings.
The HPLO is excited to bring ideas, resources, and encouragement to the local community to help bring the National Register of Historic Places-eligible property back to life. The program will provide examples from Oregon and around the nation of schools that have been rehabilitated and repurposed for housing, community centers, offices, and other creative uses. Brief discussions of funding opportunities, rehabilitation issues, and community support will accompany each of the examples. Those in attendance will have a chance to discuss next steps in finding an appropriate new use for the Middle School.
The program is free and open to the public, however, donations to the HPLO gladly accepted. 7PM start time.
